Further studies of JP-8+100 additive candidates in the QCM
- Univ. of Dayton, OH (United States)
The deposition and oxidation characteristics of three jet fuel additive candidates are studied separately and in combination in four fuels. The fuels are stressed in a stainless steel batch reactor at 140{degrees}C for 15 hours. A quartz crystal microbalance and polarographic oxygen sensor are used for the in-situ monitoring of deposition and oxidation, respectively. The additives MDA, BHT, and Spec-Aid 8Q406 are candidates for the US Air Force JP-8+100 program. This program is tasked with developing an additive package for JP-8 fuel which will significantly increase its thermal stability. The additive combination Spec-Aid 8Q406/MDA shows the best oxidation and deposition behavior of any of the combinations or single additives. The better performing additive combinations are also run in long duration tests (30 to 50 hours).
